Instead of clicking on a shortcut that points to the normal Revit.exe file, I use a shortcut pointing to a very small Revit project file, containing only a drafting view with my company's logo, kind of like a "splash" screen. I find that Revit starts up faster this way since it's not loading our standard ~7MB project template, but the standard template still loads when you click on the New button in Revit.
So anyway, I have noticed that every time the computer is shut off and/or rebooted, the first time I click on the Revit startup file, I get an error message. This file is located in My Documents on my local machine, but for some reason Revit can't seem to find the file the first time it starts after the computer reboots. It's no big deal that the startup file doesn't come up, but for some reason Revit also thinks there is no license available and then runs in Demo mode.
So I have to close Revit, and then start it up a second time. Again, I click on the shortcut to the small startup file on my local machine, and this time everything comes up just fine, and the license is there and shows as non-expiring.
So again, this problem only happens the first time I click on the shortcut to the startup file after the computer boots up. Anyone have an idea?
